Poetry & short fiction, horror and weird fiction (will someday finish reading Marx and Ulysses) (he/him).
I can think of a few, maybe Mieville?
My post just stemmed from the usual Sunday evening frustration that it sometimes feels like it needs a Lovecraftian entity to bring about the end of capitalism

Funnily enough, it was this New Yorker article that introduced me to Hailey Whitters: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Kelefa Sanneh can articulate way better than me what her place in the industry is, how this came to be and what role country radios plays in this equation.
A Rising Country Singer Tries to Win Over Nashville’s Gatekeepers
Hailey Whitters has won critical acclaim and fans on the Internet. But radio still determines who gets to be a star.

My fav of hers is definitely Everything She Ain’t: youtu.be/miC3hoAaqKc
“The whiskey in your soda, the lime to your Corona
Shotgun in your Tacoma, the Audrey to your Hank
She's got a little style and a Hollywood smile
But believe me, honey, (..)
I'm everything she is and everything she ain't.”

When I was a kid, we used to sing this beautiful song in mass (May the Road bring us together), which is based upon this saying. In it, however, it says:
“Be in heaven for over forty years / Before the devil knows you are already dead.”
Germans, apparently, need a bit longer up there.
